SPRAGUE SUBCOMMITTEE

SPECIAL MEETING NOTICE AND AGENDA

Meeting Date and Time: Thursday, January 30, 2020 10:00 – 11:30 AM

Meeting Location: Office of Policy and Management, 450 Capitol Avenue, Conference Room 4A, Hartford, CT

Members in Attendance: Kim Kennison (OPM Secretary designee), Christine Shaw (State Treasurer

designee), March Waxenberg (phone), Matt Brokman (phone; joined at 10:20)

Municipal Officials and Staff in Attendance: Cheryl Blanchard, Melissa Sevigny, William Hull, Michele

DeMicco

Others in Attendance: Julian Freund (OPM), Bill Plummer (OPM)

I. Call to Order

The meeting was called to order at 10:08 AM.

II. Approval of Minutes of July 1, 2019 Subcommittee Meeting

This item was moved to later in the agenda when a quorum was present. One typographical error

was noted. The minutes, as corrected, were approved with one abstention (Ms. Shaw).

III. Update: FY 2019 Audit

The Town has requested and obtained an extension to the end of March filing its FY 2019 audit. The extensions have been due to a delay in generating a required fixed asset report as a result of a software reporting problem. The Town reported that the software issue had been resolved and the fixed asset report had been provided to the auditor. The FY 2019 audit is expected to be completed and submitted in March.

IV. Update: Corrective Action Plan

The finance offices for both the Town and Board of Education have been working to resolve prior year audit findings. The findings date back for several years. The Board of Education has resolved one segregation of duties issue by modifying workflow for payments from the Child Nutrition Fund. The Town has addressed a segregation of duties issue in the Water and Sewer Fund by hiring a part-

2

time person for processing billing. Board of Education budget monitoring issues have been addressed by enhanced and increased reporting of budget status, both to local boards and commissions and to the MARB.

These open items have been addressed and the audit firm has been notified of this progress, but due to timing, they may not be formally reported as closed in the upcoming audit. The audit document should report progress, though. Two additional prior year findings are in the process of being remedied, including the creation of a comprehensive set of finance policies and procedures for both the Town and BOE.

V. Update: FY 2021 Budget Process

The budget adoption schedule was discussed briefly. The Superintendent intends to submit a proposed FY 2021 budget to the Board of Education in February and will provide a copy to the MARB.

The Town also confirmed that cash flow projections indicate a positive cash position through the end of March. The Education Cost Sharing grant installment in April will be the final large revenue receipt for the Town in the current fiscal year. The next cash flow projection will project cash position through the end of the fiscal year as an early warning of any potential cash flow issues.

VI. Adjourn

The meeting adjourned at 11:00 AM.

STATE OF CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL ACCOUNTABILITY REVIEW BOARD

SPRAGUE SUBCOMMITTEE SPECIAL MEETING

Meeting Date and Time: Thursday, March 30, 2020 10:00 – 11:30 AM

Meeting Location: Meeting was held telephonically. Meeting materials can be found at https://portal.ct.gov/OPM/Marb/Sprague-Committee-Meetings-and-Materials

Members Participating: Kimberly Kennison (OPM Secretary designee), Christine Shaw (State Treasurer Designee), Mark Waxenberg

Municipal Officials/Staff: First Selectman Cheryl Blanchard, Melissa Sevigny, Superintendent William

Hull, Michele DeMicco

Audit Agency: Hoyt, Filippetti & Malaghan: Jason Cote, Audit Manager and Sue Jones, Partner

I. Call to Order

Due to the conference line crashing, not all subcommittee members attempting to

participate were able to connect. As a result, there was no quorum for the meeting. The

meeting began at 10:20.

II. Approval of Minutes of January 30, 2020 Subcommittee Meeting

No action was taken on minutes because of the lack of quorum.

III. Review and discussion: FY 2019 Audit

Jason Cote, Audit Manager for Hoyt, Filippetti & Malaghan, provided an overview of the audit process and financial results for FY 2019. An unmodified report, or clean opinion on the Town’s financial statements was issued by the auditor. On the government-wide Statement of Net Position, most of the Town’s equity is composed of investment in capital assets. The Governmental Funds balance sheet reflects a General Fund deficit of ($819,291) as of 6/30/19. This is a reduction of $264,953 in the size of the deficit compared to the prior year resulting from an operating surplus in FY 2019. The surplus was attributable primarily to a one-time revenue from the sale of scrap metal from a foreclosed industrial property. The Capital Nonrecurring Fund incurred a deficit in FY 2019 and is carrying a negative fund balance of ($451,523) as of 6/30/19. The change from a positive fund balance as of 6/30/18 to the negative fund balance is largely attributable to capital expenditures for which no funding had been appropriated.

Several upcoming Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements were noted. None have taken effect yet. The auditor noted that in the FY 2020 financials, the $325,000 proceeds from the property lease with Willimantic Waste will be treated as deferred inflow of resources and the revenue will be amortized over the life of the 99 year lease. The

2

impact of the lease payment was originally expected to be revenue in the year received, rather than an asset to be amortized over the life of the lease.

In the review of the State Single Audit Report, four materials weaknesses were noted. Each is a repeat finding from prior years. The subcommittee discussed each of the materials weaknesses and the status of resolving them with Town and Board of Education officials. One finding, regarding separation of duties at the water and sewer authority, has been resolved through the hiring of an additional employee to handle the billing. The resolution of that finding will be reported in the next audit. The Town and Board of Education are currently in the process of resolving a material weakness related to a lack of written policies and procedures. One finding is related to several Board of Education special revenue funds and agency funds which have not been maintained in a general ledger. The BOE has developed a plan to begin managing each of these funds in the general ledger. A finding related to lack of internal controls within the Child Nutrition Fund is also being resolved by the BOE with the Business Manager taking on more oversight of the fund. One previously reported materials weakness regarding communications and monitoring of the budget was resolved and closed last fiscal year prior to the audit.

The Single Audit also reported two findings related to State grants. One is the result of overdue grant reports from the Town and the other is a requirement to install signage at a grant funded project. The Town is moving forward on resolving both of these issues.

IV. Review and discussion: FY 2021 Board of Education proposed budget

The Superintendent provided an overview of the proposed budget for FY 2021. The

proposed budget requests an increase of $226,920, or 3.48% over the current year budget.

The proposal includes some staffing increases, including a half full time equivalent (FTE)

technology teacher, enhancing the Director of Pupil Services to a full time position, and

increasing office support by one half FTE. Members discussed the changes in tuition costs

and savings driven by enrollment reductions. The district has also been gradually limiting

the number of high school options for students. Norwich Free Academy is the designated

option, but the district may offer other schools if the cost of transportation is covered by the

receiving district. Approximately 85% of Sprague high school students attend Norwich Free

Academy. Ms. Shaw asked about the experience and impact of transitioning to remote

learning during the public health emergency. Ms. Demicco explained that the immediate

cost impact has been manageable, as much of the online learning software being used has

been free. Current projections are for the Board of Education to end the fiscal year

approximately $170,000 under budget, which will add to the Town’s Fund Balance, though

the amount is subject to change as conditions evolve.

V. Adjourn

The meeting adjourned at 11:15 AM.

MUNICIPAL ACCOUNTABILITY REVIEW BOARD MEMORANDUM

To: Members of the Municipal Accountability Review Board

From: Julian Freund

Date: June 1, 2020

Subject: Town of Sprague FY 2021 Budget

Background According to the MARB statute, the MARB has approval authority of certain elements of the annual budgets of Tier II municipalities, including approval of assumptions regarding state revenues, property tax revenues and mill rates. The statute also provides MARB with an opportunity for review and comment on the budget prior to adoption by the local legislative body. The Memorandum of Agreement for restructuring funds between OPM and the Town of Sprague requires the entire Town budget be approved by the MARB. The Town’s Board of Finance released a Recommended FY 2021 Budget following its meeting on May 28. The Board of Finance expects to take final action to approve the budget on June 11. Recommended FY 2021 Budget Review Revenues

Overall General Fund revenues increase by $149,529 or 1.6%, in the recommended FY 2021 budget. This net increase is driven entirely by an increase in Property Taxes of $178,919, offset somewhat by a reduction in the estimated ECS grant and reductions in other revenues

Property Taxes

Current Levy Tax Collections in the Recommended FY 2021 budget total $5,669,773. This is an increase of $181,420, or 3% over the FY 2020 levy. Grand List growth of 0.4% generates approximately $22,820 of the new Current Levy revenue. The remainder of the increase is the result of a proposed one mill increase to the mill rate, to a mill rate of 35.75 mills. The mill rate increase generates an additional $158,595 in tax revenue.

Property tax collections in the Recommended Budget are based on a tax collection rate of 97.0% which has been the budgeted collection rate for several years. The bar graph below depicts the Town’s actual collection rates since FY 2007, just prior to the last economic downturn. The graph shows a slight dip in collections in the FY 2010 to FY 2013 timeframe possibly attributable to the recession. A larger impact between FY 2015 and FY 2017 is attributable to the 2014 foreclosure on the Fusion Papermill property and the resulting large write-off of unpaid taxes. For FY 2018 and FY 2019, the collection rate on the current levy exceeded the 97% target rate.

Collections on prior year taxes, interest and lien fees, and supplemental motor vehicle taxes are all budgeted at the same level as the current fiscal year.

5-Year Plan: The previously approved 5-Year Plan assumed no Grand List growth for the FY 2021 budget. The Plan provided for a 1.0 mill increase to the mill rate, consistent with the mill rate in the Recommended Budget.

State Aid

State Aid to municipalities comprises approximately 34% of the Town’s General Fund revenues. Most sources of State Aid are budgeted in FY 2020 at the same level as in FY 2019. The exception is Education Cost Sharing which decreases by $21,984, or -0.8%, in the recommended budget. The budgeted amounts for State Aid are consistent with the levels of funding for aid to municipalities in the Governor’s
